Generating Shaded Image with Lighting Using Image Fusion Space

We generate an image with many lighting equipments by fusing images with a few lighting equipments. In general, the principle of the superposition is discussed for the lighting. An image with two lighting equipments is generated by adding the pixel values of two images with a lighting equipment. But it is difficult to generate the image by adding the pixel values of two images as the internal parameter changes in the case of using a single-lens reflex camera with the sensitivity automatic control facilities. On the other hand, it is difficult to generate the image using traditional fusion methods. We introduce the image fusion space describing the relationship between traditional fusion methods. We propose the method selecting the fusion method for each pixel from the image fusion space. The fusion image is generated using the fusion methods with the parameter suited in the divided regions by searching image fusion space. We show the effectiveness by generating the fusion images with lighting equipments in the general environment.
